The art looks nice, the gameplay needs some getting used to, but overall solid game, would love if you could rate our game too :)
I really enjoyed the artwork, the character, the platforms, and the background all look really nice!
Nice little game here! It's a good platformer and I can tell it has a lot of lore and a detailed backstory! Maybe this could expand into something more. I wasn't too sure how it fit the theme, but I think it could be a fun platformer game.
I had no audio in the web version, and the physics are really weird. Can't jump when standing still, moving happens in small shocks, jumping is like walking up invisible staircase, projectiles don't disappear after killing an enemy. Very very strange... Cool artwork though.
I got audio in the web version after I hit Retry the first time.
I liked the art and music but my opinion is the same as ChimericalGames :3
Great job on the art and music! But as the previous comments mentioned, it needs some work on the gameplay side :P
I like the art and music for the game! However, the platforming did not feel good at all. The player was too slow, the jump was way too floaty. The bullets were too slow, and just stopped in place instead of being destroyed when they hit something, impeding my path. I would also suggest having a small time frame between each time you shoot, because I could just spawn loads of bullets, and because they are so slow, use them as platforms to get over everything. I also don't see the link to the theme in anyway. Hope this helps!
I love the game concept and the game idea, but the gameplay is kind of messed up a bit. Here are the problems I discovered:
I hope this feedback can help improve the game! I would love to play the game at its best. Also, I would of loved to hear music in the game as well!
I think the game was quite good - however, I would recommend making the player movement more snappy and add a friction so that the player doesnt slide off. But overall - great effort and I like it!
Nice graphic and art, game is a bit buggy but nice in the end
The character art is great, the only real complaints i had was A. the hitboxing and what i assume the boolean to say if the character is on the floor was a little off on somne tiles. and B. the falling platforms that meet the theme didnt seem to work or at least i missed them. Fun game though well done!
Thank you! Will try to polish this up to make the movement better
i think the hitbox of the character should be smaller , just the body, i died a few times because of the things on my head, also at some point in the game i could't jump i dont know why, the music is good and the graphics are fine good job !
Noted and will try to fix this! Thank you!
Character is unique. Movement could be better but still, a good game. Good job to the team!
The movement could be a bit more fluid but I really enjoyed the soundtrack. The bird is also quite cute :)
Good luck!
Thank you for the feedback and for playing!
